About This Book

Two children go into a forest to pick some fruit for the family's supper. Heading home at the end of the day, they come upon a clearing and a very hungry, very unusual snake that fills the children's heads with beautiful words and images of magical places. Told in the always-popular tradition of the Brothers Grimm, The Snake's Tale is a whimsical picture book about the importance of stories. And in the hands of gifted storyteller Marguerite Davol and best-selling illustrator Yuni Heo, it will weave a magic spell around readers as wondrous as that of the snake.
